The President is the head of state. The head of the government is the Prime Minister who appoints the cabinet which, in turn, is responsible to Parliament. The capital city is Roseau. 1.1.1 Size and Location Dominica is part of the Lesser Antilles, and is located between the French island of Guadeloupe to the north and Martinique to the south at latitude 15° 20 north and longitude 61° 20 west. The country covers 750 km² making it the largest English speaking Eastern Caribbean island. Dominica lies within the hurricane and tropical storm belt, and as such hurricanes have devastated the island and the agricultural sector of the island in 1979, 1980, and 1989, destroying the fragile agricultural based economy. Despite major rehabilitation efforts, natural disasters of this kind remain a constant threat. 4 1.1.2 Climatic and geographical features Dominica’s high relief affects it’s climate which can be described as humid tropical marined, with annual rainfall ranges from 250-300 inches/year in the interior to 50-70 inches per year in the coastal low lands. These factors contribute significantly to extremely lush (green vegetation and much biodiversity). The country is divided into ten parishes and in terms of Agricultural Extension it is divided into seven regions. Most of the habitants live in the coastal areas, leaving the steeper, less accessible, marginal Lands for agricultural purposes. It is worth noting that the interior of the island is predominantly forest reserves, reducing further the land available for agricultural purposes. 1.1.3 Forest Types Dominica’s undisturbed forests are the most extensive in the eastern Caribbean. The vegetation consists of more than 1000 species of foreign plants and about sixty woody plants and tree species. Dominica contains 52 000 ha of natural forests, wood land and bush. There is an 5 impressive plant diversity of 155 families, 672 genera, and 1226 species of vascular plants and trees. The natural vegetation on the island consists of Swamp Forests, Dry Scrub Land, Littoral Wood Land, Deciduous Forests, Rain Forests, Montane Forests, and Elfin Wood Land. The total forest acreage is 130 thousand acres representing 2/3 of the total land area. Nine Thousand Two Hundred and Ten( 9210) acres of this area has been demarcated as National Parks. The National Parks Legislation provides protection for the genetic resources within park zones. 1.1.4 The Economy Country Profile The Commonwealth of Dominica is situated between Guadeloupe to the North and Martinique, to the south, at approximately 15o North and 61o West, making the island the most northerly of the sub-regional Windward Islands grouping. Located in the middle of the Lesser Antilles, with a total land area of 750 km2 (290 sq. miles), Dominica is the also the largest Windward Island. In 2001, the population was 71,373 with a population density of 94.7 persons per km². Dominica is the least populated Windward Island. Agriculture in Dominica Sector Profile The agricultural sector plays a major role in economic and rural development in the country. Acknowledgement of agriculture as one of the largest sub-sector contributor to the national economy is reflected in national policy objectives. These policies identify agriculture a major agent for rural transformation, the attainment of macro-economic stability, and sustainable development. Until the year 2000 Dominica's economy was led by output from the agricultural sector. Gross agricultural output averaged 26.26% and 19.24% per annum of GDP between the periods 1986 to 1993 and 1994 to 2003 respectively, peaking at 29.96% and 22.94% in 1986 and 1996. Over the review period contribution from the other productive sectors, manufacturing and hotels and restaurants, remained well below that of agriculture, with averages of 7.0% and 2.6%. In spite of government policies providing incentives and investment opportunities in the tourism and manufacturing sub-sectors, their productive capacity has not been developed in any appreciable amount to complement and/or match agriculture's contribution. Within the agricultural sector, crop production is of greatest economic importance as it is the primary foreign exchange earner in the sector. Crop production accounted for an average 80% of all agricultural production. The livestock, fisheries and forestry sub-sectors contribute very little to foreign exchange earnings, their economic significance being in their contribution made to food security, employment in rural communities, and in the case of fisheries and livestock, a vital source of protein for home consumption. The declining performance of the agricultural sector over the past decade has been the main cause for the weak performance of the overall economy over the same period. 6 Figure 1. Average Percentage Contribution of Agricultural Sub-Sectors, 1986-2003 3.6% 8.6% 7.8% 80.0% Crops Livestock Forestry Fishing Source (analysis of the economic value of agricultural trade preferences, Ruth Allport, FAO 2005) 1.1.5 Organization of farming systems Most of the farming systems are basically at a subsistence level whereby the farming community farms for maintaining themselves and their families, excess farm outputs is sold locally (local market, supermarkets and households). The animal products derived at a national level are meat (poultry, beef, pork and to a lesser extent chevron), eggs, honey and milk (goat’s milk sold basically to the health system and bovine used mostly at the farm’s level). Approximately 83% of Dominica’s population lives in the rural areas which depends mainly on agriculture and fishing. Livestock only accounts for a meagre percentage of the employment sector. The sector is growing and would be of significant importance towards food security as well as contributing towards reducing the food import bill of meat and it’s products. Most of animal product produced locally are consumed locally except for small quantities sold to neighbouring Islands with high Dominican populations e.g Martinique and Guadeloupe. Dominica at present is self-sufficient in egg production. The importation of meat has increased steadily, this has therefore substituted the local production of beef, pork and poultry. 7 Most of our livestock farmers are private. At present the sector has two functioning livestock farmers groups (The Dominica Rabbit Breeders Association and the Beekeepers Association, and National Pig Producers Cooperative). The average

  • Like a Soldier: a 2300 Military Short Story
    Like A Soldier -A 2300AD Military Short Story- 1 Part I Earth In the beginning I shall starting this tale from the beginning, as all good stories should. I was born in Leeds, part of the West Riding Metroplex that stretches along the folds of the eastern side of the Pennine Hills of England. Although my family were not at all God fearing atheists I was christened James Henry Anderson in a small rural church not far from the city. My family was a fairly typical one for the time, my father held down two jobs and my mother one. I also had an elder brother, with whom it is fair to say I didn't get along. We lived in a crowded high-rise in Headingly, which was handily placed for my father's main job at the University of Leeds. My childhood was reassuringly average. School, sports and the usual brushes with those fine fellows in the West Yorkshire Constabulary. I was never a particularly good student, but I had the talent to make up for my lack of application. My real forte was in sports, rugby mainly (traditional League) but I dabbled in others, and in languages. My mother was of Flemish extraction and had insisted on a multi- lingual household, so I could happily bullshit in a scattering of major European languages. My last years of secondary schooling at Allwoodly Grammar coincided with the outbreak of the Kafer War and the fighting around Eta Bootis. Like most of my classmates I day dreamed of joining the Tanstaafl Free Legion and combing the alien forests of Aurore hunting down the Kafers.
